College administrators are the most left-leaning group on campus, according to surveys. Liberal administrators outnumber conservative ones 12-to-one. Just a scant 6 percent of campus administrators identify as conservative to some degree, while 71 identify as liberal or very liberal. And 86 percent of administrators believe that their schools should be as concerned with students’ “personal values” as with their intellectual development.
If you want to know why more than 80 percent of college students are self-censoring in the classroom, on campus, and online, start with their administrators.
I did just that, surveying 1,500 student-facing administrators in almost three dozen schools. What I found was that these administrators have incredibly narrow views. They are surprisingly monolithic, despite coming from a variety of learning institutions, ranging from large public research universities like the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Florida, to small colleges like Rhodes and Lafayette Colleges, and private schools like Boston and Rice Universities.
It should thus come as no surprise that today’s college administrators try to dictate the very language their students are allowed to use, which they see as “a powerful tool that can be used to perpetrate and perpetuate oppression.”
